On October 24, 2011, Midwest hauled off 1 load (6,200 gal) of oily water from cleaning the primary separator pit to the United Waste Water Inc. facility in Cincinnati, OH. 

• Midwest continued heat pressure washing sludge tanks in the solids building.
• Midwest attempted to use a vac truck to assist with moving viscous sludge out of the east million gallon bunker tank.  The attempt was unsuccessful.  Midwest will try some larger fittings. 
• Midwest started removing acid waste from Tank 37.  They are storing the removed acid in totes, and they believe that they can find a recycler to take the waste.
• TriHydro requested visual inspection of Tanks 34 and 33.  There was no visible product on the floor or walls of the interior of either tank.  The condition was documented with two photos of the interior of the tank.

• Focus Engineering personnel were on site collecting a Tank 51 containment stormwater sample for City of Indianapolis SDA renewal for discharge to the sanitary sewer.
• Midwest began cleaning activities in the elevated level of the solids building.
• Midwest continued sludge solidifying activities in the solidification pits.
• Trihydro submitted the Bunker Tank Concrete Roof Removal JSA to U.S. EPA/START for review. Bunker tank roof removal activities began with Midwest saw-cutting around and removing the metal roof opening on the northwest side of the west million gallon bunker tank.
• Trihydro discharged approximately 27,725 gal of treated water to Oil Creek.
